SharePoint 2013 introduces a new concept called Distributed Cache. The
Distributed Cache service, which is built on Windows Server AppFabric Cache, is
set to run in a collocated mode on all SharePoint 2013 Servers by default,
using up to 10% of the server's total physical memory. It’s essential for
maintaining the large amounts of information on your SharePoint Server,
ensuring that the information is fresh and readily available for the end user.

The Distributed Cache
service provides caching functionality to features (not to be

service is either required by or improves performance of the following
features:

Newsfeeds

OneNote client access

Security Trimming

Page load performance

functionalities, provided by the Distributed Cache service, enable the
SharePoint features listed above to quickly retrieve data without any
dependency on databases stored in SQL Server, as everything is stored in memory.Related Topic : Start and Stop the Distributed Cache service
